You would think AI would be bigger than VR.
Edit: going with GPUs makes sense now, but it doesn't indicate a big bet on Facebook's part. I don't think opensourcing a server cabinet is that interesting, but I'm a hardware engineer.
In 10 years I think more people will touch AI than VR but I don't know how that translates to investment.

- argonaut 11y agoAI might be bigger than VR, but the timeframes are messed up. VR is an engineering problem now; I don't think there are major field-shattering breakthroughs needed to make reasonably realistic, cheap VR within the next 5 years. AI is nowhere close to strong AI or reasonable general-purpose intelligent programs that don't require loads of human tuning. It will take several breakthroughs.
